Is there anything better than st mk or st mp to punish it? I feel like I miss out on big damage when I block a cannon spike.

All versions of cannon spike are -37 on block so you can pretty much do anything you want, including a full crush counter st.hk, cr.hp, b.mk xx yoga flame combo if she’s close. If you feel that your reaction was a bit off: cr.hp, cr.hp xx yoga flame for a quicker punish. If you block it and the push-back is a bit far you even have time to dash forward and do a cr.hp, cr.hp xx yoga flame.

For long range: crush st.hk, st.hk OR crush st.hk, st.hp OR crush st.hk, cr.hk slide depending on the range and what you want. I recommend the cr.hk slide one since you get a knockdown and better positioning for pressure. All do the same damage and you got a lot of time to react.

As for blocked Spikes: all of her non-vtrigger Spikes can only be punished with a cr.LK. All of her Vtrigger Spikes, meanwhile, can be punished with a cr.HK on block.

What are you on about? You can punish cannon spikes with literally everything you want, it’s -37 bro.

Noble_Cactus:

LK Cannon Spike gets stuffed by b.MK, of course.

What?

…Are we talking about different moves? I just tested this last night, and there wasn’t time to punish with anything after I blocked it other than walk forward cr.LK if she held block right after I blocked the Spike. She bounces off too far on block for you to just dash up to her punish her with cr.HP like you mentioned. We’re talking about blocking Spike, not Cammy whiffing it.

As for Vtrigger Spikes? Yeah, you can probably do that. I’m a dumb and forgot to test that too.

I shouldn’t have mentioned the b.MK part in the same post, though, since that was just a random note on whiffed LK Spikes.

Maybe I’m doing something stupid and need to try it again.

EDIT: Dash up cr.HP indeed does work. You just have to be fast about it.
